Release Notes:
Rockets!, as a band, can be best explained through their own self-reflective
lyrics. It's as if Johno Brown (vocals/guitar) takes a break from story telling
just for a moment to speak for the entire band when they chant the words 'Well,
who says this is all we got?'.
Coming from the small rural area of Innisfil, Ontario, the boys of Rockets!
aren't ready to accept that all they have to aim for are the successes of the
small town. They have stories to tell and people to tell them to, and with the
passion and sincerity that they put into these songs it's only a matter of time
before everyone listens.
"I think being from a small town is a lot nicer," says Zac Bishop (drums/Korg).
"it gives you the room to grow and when you're ready, you can move on to bigger,
better things." It's a concept that the whole band shares. "You have to start
somewhere and I think small towns give you the opportunity to do so."
Rockets! is definitely not accepting when it comes to musical boundaries. Zac
isn't shy to pull out the double bass right in the middle of even the most
pop-influenced tune, and with influences such as Bruce Springsteen it isn't so
surprising to hear harmonica take the spotlight during one of their songs. ⌠I
would think there is no such thing as a musical boundary as long as it works.÷
Says Johno. ⌠We have never forced anything into a song for the sake of putting
it in there, I don't see a reason why we can't continue to explore what works
and what doesn't.÷
Canada rules, sens will take the cup and our music will cast light on a darkened
world!
